I am installing Slackware on a Compaq Armada 4150. Pentium 150 and 16M RAM. I am installing over NFS with a wireless NIC<cool huh?>. I downloaded the ISO from linuxiso.com. I mounted the ISO as a loop device and the install starts flawlessly. However, before it can make it past its first directory of packages I get errors. tar errors Grandchild . <I don't have the errors staring at me ATM. It complains that the archive has errors at the beginning. It tells me to make sure I downloaded the files in binary and that they are not corrupt. I wonder if the date being set to 1980 might have something to do with this? I changed it in the BIOS, but it does not stay set. I try and change it with date -s 02/08/02 <and many other date variances> to no avail. Has anyone seen symptoms like these before. Does anyone have any suggestions for installing Linux on the RAM defiecient lappy? RH wants 24M for a remote install. It just takes soooo long to boot off of all four floppies to just get disapointed by the same error. thanks
